Owners/employees of this park are all really good people. Helpful, considerate, friendly . . . The kind of folks you want running an RV Park. The gift store is really nice. Like many places in CA they've had water restrictions and had to stop watering their patches of lawn between sites, but it doesn't look bad and is still enough turf so that it's not total mud, when it rains. We've been searching for an RV park that we really like in the Humboldt Redwoods SP area that doesn't have full time renters. We've finally found it! - MarBu

We overnight stopped. Very nice little park and extremely quiet. No lights at night although poles are there. Bulbs Out? A redwood tree there, over 900 years old!! We would stay here again for sure. Its deep in the Redwoods, really deep.. but just off 101... Easy access, wide, flat. - Bobcat1

The park was essentially a large gravel parking lot requiring lateral leveling. The site had many large redwood trees providing shade and ambiance. The park was well located along the Avenue of the Giants. Sites had 30 amps, water and sewer connections. No cable. Verizon signal was very good at site. The site had a tremendous amount of unfulfilled potential in my opinion. We enjoyed our time here. - Stin

Wintertime rain poured down, otherwise our stay here was comfortable. Park was nearly empty. Lovely seasonal lighting was cheerful. We had good phone/internet service with Verizon. Lots of trees. Pleasant check in at the gift shop. No place to eat nearby. - waterwoman

This is a nice small resort, but it needs a little TLC. Everything seems just a little faded, although all the cabins seems to have been recently painted, with some new picnic tables. The RV park is very small, with only 2 pull-through's, and 6-7 back-in's. Tough to turn a big rig around in it. Good Wi-Fi, and free cable TV (only 10 channels, but there's no other TV). Verizon didn't work here. Nice hot tub spa and group fire pit, with free firewood provided for it. Campfires can be had at individual sites, but only in fire tubs provided (which are the inside tubs of old washing machines. These work very well for campfires). The main attraction for this park is its location, right on old Hwy 101 (Ave of the Giants). Superb location to view some of the greatest ancient redwoods. Priced a little high, but big rigs won't fit in any of the CA state parks. - dennmattgano

Agree with prior reviews -- great place, shady, quiet, off the beaten path. Do not bring a big rig here -- narrow roads, low branches, tight corners and campsites. Small trailers or motorhomes will do just fine. - Prof Dan

For a deep redwood forest experience, this place can't be beat. Most sites are surrounded by big trees. Some are right next to a creek. It was very quiet and the sites were huge. The only negative is the 5-mile very narrow access road. The campground road goes between some huge redwoods and is about 9' wide in one spot. There is also a narrow bridge just before the ranger hut. Once we were in the park I had no problem backing our 22' trailer in. There are tons of hiking trails and plenty of streams. Again the redwoods are incredible. It's fine for dogs, although they are not allowed on the hiking trails. There are plenty of isolated forest roads and horse trails to take them on though -- most in deep forest. We really enjoyed it and would go back. - sky trailer

We did not get to stay here because they said our trailer (27' Airstream) was too long. Which is the main reason I wanted to leave this review, because an earlier review, dated May 2017 said they let them stay (they were over 25') and they saw an even longer RV (35'). This was the only reason we attempted to stay here. I did not want someone else to go through what we did.

They had us drive through the campground to pick some spots. There were several that could easily accommodate us. The roads were a little tight for us but we went through the whole campground without a scratch. When we got back to the front where the ranger was that is when they turned us away because they said we were too long.

I am not leaving it a bad review because The place looks awesome. You are right in the heart of the Redwoods, The campground looked clean and we would have loved to stay here. - Californiamini

Site 24 / 58 sites: $49. This is one of three campgrounds in the park. It is located on the Avenue of the Giants right next to the Visitor Center. Beautiful campground without hookups, among the Redwood Trees. There are two bathhouses with pay showers. You can walk the trails across the street and visit the exhibits in the Visitor Center. This is a nice campground and we really enjoyed it. The website says no units over 24ft but there were many sites that we could fit into it and we are over 25ft. There was even an RV in the campground that was over 36 ft. There seems to be a number of overnighters that stop here while traveling in California. - gsnakehill

Campground is loaded with redwoods and is beautiful. $35 for a tent site with no electric is a little steep, especially when there are pay showers too. Sites not too close together, but nighttime noise, even though quiet hours are posted, is annoying with no consideration from other campers. Never saw a ranger once it was past quiet hours. Typical state park campground. We did not make a reservation and had plenty of first serve sites available. - Rick Frazier

We just pulled in here late on Labor Day on our way to the Oregon Coast with friends who also had a 24' travel trailer. We got two spots. Roads are rather steep but there was sufficient room to back in our trailers and park our trucks. Lots of trees and shade with some huge redwoods in the campground and adjacent areas. Bathrooms were still a mess from the busy 3-day holiday weekend. We drove back south on the Avenue of the Giants about 6 miles to a small town with 1 restaurant that had some of the best food in California! - LarrynMary

Stayed in Burlington campground. There's road noise from Hwy 101, recommend staying closer to Ave. of the Giants. Reserve carefully, some sites are smallish. We stayed in site 37, and had to go the wrong way on a one-way for a bit to orient our trailer to the site. The scenery is well worth a visit. I'd avoid weekends - the place gets a bit "party hardy". - Bruce Wray

We stayed at the Hidden Creek Campground, which is carved into a relatively steep hillside. Sites fairly close together. Everthing either uphill or downhill, not the best for fairly fit senior walkers like me. Trails poorly marked and no distances listed, just signs that say to this place or that. Never got a sense we were among the redwoods. - 1947red

We had 4 of us in the van, pulling a pop up trailer, and after a long haul we were having trouble finding the campgrounds along the avenue of the redwoods. After seeing the signs for this place on the highway we decided to stop by, knowing we were there after hours around midnight. The maps behind the glass on the signs were sun baked and unreadable but the host house had an open sign so we opened the gate and there was a sign saying to pick a spot and pay in the morning, which was great. Tent spots were $18 and RV spots with hookups were $34. We drove around trying to figure out which sites were for RVs, which for tents, and which had hookups but the numbering system was odd and the light was low. We picked what we thought was best and set up the pop up and two tents. An attendant in the morning came by and told one of us that we were not in a correct spot and charged us $50 (where does that cost come from...not itemized on our receipt for sure). The place was empty other than one other RV and the permanent residents since it was a Monday evening/Tuesday morning. They said that we had to leave by 11 AM and would be charged if we stayed past noon. Since it was about 10:45 it was incredibly tough to get a shower in and by 11 they had closed the bathrooms so we couldn't use them. Also, when we were cooking breakfast, two attendant clowns in a Gator style vehicle drove right through our camp with a load of weeds and what seemed to be blackberry branches and circled between our stove and a tent, catching the tent with a branch, which damaged it cosmetically. They just drove on and acted like we shouldn't be there. Unbelievable. Terrible customer service during a non peak time. They only get 3 stars because we were so desperate and this place let us check in after hours. - CaliDiscGolf

Check in was with the friendly owner, and due to the heavy rains, the host took us to one of the seasonal sites with 50A power and sewer. Level grass and gravel, the site was tight but OK for one night. The park looks worn and could use updating, but the folks were very friendly and with the PA discount the price was very reasonable. Good WiFi, Verizon Cell/data, but no cable TV. Noticeable noise from the highway, but otherwise quiet at night. - Meanderman

We stayed for a week, so got the weekly rate. Staff was very helpful and friendly. We had good power (30 amp) and water but no sewer. Our site was generous. The whole travelers' RV parking area was fresh cut grass, which we really enjoyed compared to gravel or sand. Lots of redwoods and blackberry bushes surrounded that area, so it was lovely to look out at. This was non peak season so few other RVs joined us. There are a number of seasonal sites, but they weren't all that visible from our site. - TJElser

Advertisement is miss leading, especially with the free wifi- you are given a voucher and it would last a very short period (2 hours) just checking e-mail and Facebook. If you want more, you can "purchase" more data. Also, several dogs running loose no leash and no one seemed to care. One dog came into my motorhome- also saw lots of cats. - dlparham

We parked here to visit the Humbolt Redwoods State Park. This RV park is located right on Avenue of the Giants, a scenic roadway that runs through the park. We had a pull-through site with water, sewer, cable and 50amp electric. We used the cable since trees blocked our satellite reception. Park driveways and site pads are gravel. The bathrooms are clean and in good condition. There is WiFi that generally worked well. The staff were friendly and helpful. When we were there we experienced very rainy weather and the RV park has areas that retain quite a bit of water. Also, the street used to access the park is seriously potholed with standing water. We paid $45.90 per night with Good Sam discount. - Coopsecondact

Needs lots of cleanup and work. Rv dump was inop dont know why. No one working on it while were there. Never answered their phone when called. Received one call back. Didnt provide the site requested till after i was all set up. Off season stay so lots of time to do things. Two sites surrounded by junk so that added to the low grade. We wont be back. - T&M

This is a very well kept up park. Very clean and a nice staff. A little pricey but you get what you pay for. We always enjoy our visit. - Bob&Heidi

This could be a very nice park on the river but needs lots of cleaning up. Mostly permanent people. Staff friendly. Stayed here 20 years ago but would not stay again. - TeamElk-Rib

Friendly owner. Many long term residents with very unsightly rigs. Located very close to the Eel River with beautiful views of the river and bluffs on the opposite side. Washrooms were adequate. Laundromat expensive with wash and dry each costing $2. This site has a lot of potential because of the location but it needs a lot of clean up. As an overnight stay this was OK. - stodarca

Stayed here 4 nights end of Sept/Oct. We were here to visit family close by and this RV park met our needs fully. Long pull through sites, but narrow and the utility post is in the middle. RVers need to be aware of that when positioning their RV. Grassy patio areas with a picnic table but we had a couple of days of rain and the grass had not been mowed recently; but that was not a problem. Most sites have a landscape planted Redwood tree which may pose problems with slide out positioning. Due to our tree positioning, we could not extend our awning but facing north we didn't need to. The Redwood trees on the sites could use some pruning to make it easier for larger Motor Homes to position easier. Highway noise was non existent as we were placed closer to the access road. There is good separation between long termers and overnighters. Long termers are on along the freeway side but that's adjacent to the off ramp, not the actually freeway. Dog walking areas were identified but we used an area adjacent to the tent camping area and that worked fine. On site mini mart had local beers for our needs. 2 days of rain made for wet conditions but overall this was a great RV park that met our needs and we will return in the future. - Scott V

I don't care for pit bulls. Seems like several permanent residents owned them. Garbage smelled bad and overflowing near our site. Narrow roads. Freeway noise. There is no casino shuttle as advertised on website. The park is aging badly. Plus side is convenience to area amenities. - Maltaman

We stopped here while returning to the Bay Area from the Oregon coast. I had never stayed here, but looked up Good Sam campgrounds and found this one located south of Eureka. What a great find it was! The sites are all pull-thrus, there was a great brew pub within walking distance (Eel River Brewing) and it was clean and appeared to be well run. We didn't use it, but they even had a nice self-registration board by the office for after-hours (and pulling an RV, you're often showing up on the late side). The only negative was the highway noise from 101, but it wasn't enough to keep me from sleeping soundly. I highly recommend Riverwalk. - caseyrdc

We've been full timing for 7 years now. The place wins the award for the biggest dump we've stayed at. The site was paved but very narrow. It had been raining a lot so our coach was in a lake due to poor or nonexistent drainage and we were in a huge mud hole. The rest rooms were disgusting at best and the showers have a patina of crud every where you looked and were barely warm. There are a lot of full time folks with rigs covered with tarps and garbage everywhere. They have wifi but we could get nothing from their site. Verizion and MIFI works down there. Traffic nose from 101 is pretty loud but the traffic is only moderate. We may stay here again because it's the closest place to some friends we like to visit. Even if they dropped the price down to $5/night I wouldn't recommend it. They have a dump station that had the lid open and 6" of rain water standing in the containment basin. I really surprised that the health department hasn't shut this place down. - pumper9x9

Stayed at 183 campground in the last 5 years since we retired - this has to be the worst ever.

In the 6 days we stayed there in March 2014 restrooms were not cleaned at all I took a GI shower in the MH as it was nasty. We finally moved to site with sewer but left a day early and gave up the money.

Park is full of run down Rv's that are in horrible shape. Most of the park is full time folks. Dogs running loose all over. I walked our dog out of the campground.

We wanted a stop over spot for one night, and had a RV site and a tent site. Dean Creek is a pretty little campground right off Hwy 101. You will hear the traffic. It is an older campground that looks like it is getting some upgrades, but has a ways to go. The staff was friendly. They have a pool, spa and sauna. They have an old minature golf course that is free and was fun despite needing repairs. The sites are very close, if you have slide outs you are right over the next site's picnic table or fire pit. I was also overcharged and am waiting to see if they make it right. - seabreezervers
